mate|9973hi.how to add custom ppa to  software boutique ?10:52
mate|9973?10:54
mcphailHello. On 16.04, is the calendar on the clock widget supposed to be functional? It allows me to click on dates, but does not display or edit any events.12:48
mcphailUnity on 16.04 has the same problem, but the calendar widaget becomes functional when Evolution is installed. Evolution doesn't seem to help with the Mate widget12:52
sixwheeledbeastFunctional?13:42
mcphailsixwheeledbeast: I can click on dates, but this does not allow me to add or view events13:46
sixwheeledbeastOh I see what you mean events13:46
sixwheeledbeastdon't believe it has that functionality13:46
mcphailsixwheeledbeast: hmm. Then having clickable dates is abug13:47
sixwheeledbeastI wouldn't say so, I use that if I am looking back to check a day/date etc13:48
ouroumov_Yeah, I don't think it's a bug either.13:48
mcphailsixwheeledbeast: what does clicking on a day actually do? It highlights the day, as if it _should_ achieve something but doesn't13:48
sixwheeledbeastMaybe there is a plan for a plugin or calendars in the future. At the moment if I need to look for a date I will select the day and scroll back on the month the day is highlighted13:50
ouroumov_mcphail, you can submit a feature request on github if you want some new features. At this point filing a bug against this will probably be classed opinion / whishlist13:50
mcphailouroumov_: fair enough. Will do13:52
ouroumov_Btw I've just checked and it's the same behavior on 17.04 w/ MATE 1.1813:52
mcphailThat's just what I was going to ask! Cheers ouroumov_13:52
ouroumov_^^13:52
mcphailouroumov_: where's the best place to submit? linuxmint/mate on github or ubuntu-mate on launchpad?13:56
sixwheeledbeast calendar-window.c: toplevel window containing a calendar and tasks/appointments, seems there is intention for tasks to be shown13:58
mcphailsixwheeledbeast: I think this used to work in the old GNOME2 days, but I might be mistaken14:01
sixwheeledbeastIs there a MATE task planner that would link into the MATE clock applet? Could just be a GTK3 thing that was overlooked?14:03
ouroumov_mcphail, you should file your feature request upstream14:06
ouroumov_mcphail, hang on a second while I check what package this is14:06
mcphailouroumov_: thanks14:06
ouroumov_mcphail, it appears to be the clock applet that is a part of the mate-panel code: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/tree/master/applets/clock14:07
mcphailThat's great. Cheers guys14:08
* mcphail finds https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues/48014:09
ouroumov_Wow14:11
ouroumov_you were kind of right14:11
mcphailAlways nice to find someone else sharing my pain ;)14:12
=== yp is now known as Guest69520
ouroumov_Btw you can post bounties @ bounty source if you want to back this issue14:13
sixwheeledbeastThat will be the place to comment then, rather than opening a new bug.14:13
mcphailCool. ta14:14
sixwheeledbeastI never liked Evolution and always used Thunderbird for mail so never "missed" this to begin with.14:15
mcphailYes. Evolution is horrible, but the only way to get calendars working properly in GNOMEish desktops14:15
mcphailIt never actually needs to be opened. Unfortunately, the evolution-data-server minipackage isn't enough14:16
sixwheeledbeastWould be nice to bring that feature back without depending on evolution at all.14:20
mcphailsixwheeledbeast: calenders/events are hellishly complex, unfortunately. Timezones, recurring events, online integration etc are all pains to get right. Just about every new calendar implementation spends years getting these things wrong. There is no shame on piggybacking on working code14:27
ouroumov_Yeah14:33
ouroumov_Working with time is a hard thing for devs.14:34
sixwheeledbeastI don't disagree. I am thinking more along the lines of some "shim" into another program14:51
cannamanI'm having issues installing Android Studio15:51
cannamanError Codes Unable to run mksdcard SDK tool.15:52
cannamanOne common reason for this failure is missing required libraries15:52
cannamanPlease fix the underlying issue and retry.15:52
cannamanAny suggestions?15:52
cannamanouroumov_ you Mean actual time or "time" a program? :D15:54
cannamanouroumov_ I think everyone could do better managing time.15:54
ouroumov_No actual time (Hours, Days, Weeks, etc)15:54
ouroumov_In programs, this is difficult to handle15:54
cannamanouroumov_ - I see15:55
cannamanouroumov_ - Setting the proper time in apps and software is hard to handle?15:56
ouroumov_Yes15:56
cannamanouroumov_ - I've had issues with it in PHP, I usually just remove it. :)15:57
ouroumov_Actually, setting the time is easy, what's hard is using that info to derive other "truths"15:57
cannamanRight15:57
ouroumov_Such as, what day will it be at T + <number of seconds>15:57
cannamanAny clue why Android Studio won't install on UbuntuMate?15:57
ouroumov_Nope, but you're welcome to wait around for someone who knows that stuff or ask on our community forums15:58
cannamanGuess I'll start a thread on UbuntuForums.org15:58
ouroumov_No15:58
cannamanThere are specific forum for Ubuntu mate ouroumov_15:58
ouroumov_Yes15:58
ouroumov_https://ubuntu-mate.community15:58
cannamanwhere?15:58
cannamanOh nice15:58
ouroumov_^^15:59
cannamanThanks for the link ouroumov_15:59
cannamanI wouldn't use a new gTLD though.15:59
ouroumov_This one was fitting.15:59
cannamanDid you see one registry is raising rates from $20 - $10 wholesale to over $300?15:59
cannamanouroumov_ Is that your forum?15:59
cannamanThere are no price controls for new domain extensions.16:00
ouroumov_No. flexiondotorg is the admin (Martin Wimpress)16:00
cannamanWonder if flexiondotorg has seen this? http://domainincite.com/21603-schilling-big-price-increases-needed-to-keep-new-gtlds-alive16:02
cannamanI stick with .com mostly.16:02
cannamanI have lots of .org domains, a few .net's, .me. and .us. Won't buy any new gTLDs now though.16:02
cannamanouroumov_ Yup, .Hosting is going up 3,000% :D16:03
pavlosI use UM 16.04 and Radiant theme, I keep getting notifications in syslog, /usr/share/themes/Radiant-MATE/gtk-2.0/apps/mate-panel.rc:30: error: invalid string constant "scrollbar", expected valid string constant16:39

yossiHi16:48
ouroumov_Hi yossi16:48

Guest8491Does anyone use Windows inside a Virtual Machine in their Ubuntu?16:48
sixwheeledbeastno I use other linux VM's tho16:51
pavlosGuest8491, sure I have win7,win10 guests on um host16:54
Guest8491Cool, I've had Windows 7 on my VM which was working fine, and recently I added a Win10 VM as well.16:57
Guest8491Unfortunately it is working very slowly, even though I put enough cores/RAM to it.16:58
Guest8491I'm bugged as to what's the cause of this.16:58
ouroumov_Corrupted iso?16:58
Guest8491I doubt it, as it does work properly. Just hangs here and there.16:58
Guest8491I was wondering if it's something with Win10-ubuntu integration16:59
ouroumov_No16:59
ouroumov_Have you killed the bloat in W10? Phone home to NSA, etc17:00
Guest8491Do you mean the default applications?17:01
Guest8491NSA spying stuff?17:01
ouroumov_Yeah, cortana, etc17:02
Guest8491Yeah I tried. I don't see any resource exhaustion in the OS17:03
Guest8491That's the oddity.17:03
ouroumov_I've got a friend that's affected by massive disk I/O and bandwidth usage in W10, starting with no warning apparently. He tells me he's got to kill 14 processes in taskmanager to be able to play again when that happens :/17:03
ouroumov_hmm17:03
alkisgGuest8491: run `top` and `dstat` when that happens, to see if it's a resource issue, or just a win10 issue17:06
alkisgAlso you might want to enable disk cache in the vm controller17:06
sixwheeledbeastTry a seperate clean win10 vm install to compare?17:08
Guest8491It is a clean install17:08
Guest8491It was problematic from the very start.17:08
Guest8491I haven't tried the Virtualbox static harddisk allocation though, do you think it might help?17:09
Guest8491I'm using dynamic allocation.17:09

nicklas_i used to have a desktop shortcut for netflix via chrome, and that shortcut opened netflix in a separate chrome window with only border and that, kinda like a netflix app. now that firefox supports nerflix fully, i have ditched chrome and watch netflix in firefox. but i cant add a shortcut to netflix, and is it even possible to get netflix in the same way as i had it in chrome?22:37
